Christmas Music

Christmas music first jingled its way into popularity in the 19th century, mostly due to the delightfully shambolic nature of carolling that invites anyone with a pulse to join in, regardless of actual musical talent. This genre is a cheerful mix of saccharine melodies and festive jingles, often featuring bells, choirs, and the kind of lyrics that make you ponder whether it's possible to get a cavity from listening. Typically, it's that time of year when your favourite festive choir seems to echo from every shop, usually just as you're trying to locate a decent pair of socks for Auntie Mabel.
